Kjell responds to a series of questions regarding this sculpture.

1. What do you see when you look at this sculpture?
A symbol of Minnesota; a big walleye.

2. What would you name this sculpture?
Symbol of MN

3. Why? What is it about the sculpture that made you give it the name you did?
I kind of consider the walleye a symbol of Minnesota because a lot of Minnesota's lakes have many, many walleye.


4. What did the artist name it? Why do you think s/he gave it that name?
The artist named it Standing Glass Fish. Maybe he named it that because one of the simplest names is one of the best ones.

5. What do you like about the picture you took of the sculpture?
I like the angle I took it at, the background, and the lighting.
